[plexippus-xpath-devel] Problem compiling xpath

[Daniel Katz]

Hi -

I just downloaded plexippus-xpath (via clbuild) and tried to compile

I didn't see an obvious problem since it compiled the lambda* macro  
just before it hit the problem area (unless there was an issue with  
the eval-when clause that I'm not understanding), but clearly the  
compilers don't like something.

Any suggestions on what the issue might be?

Thanks.
